ALL HANDS article: Maine SERE

Road Program said:
How about just locking it and making it for info purposes only then?
How about I trust that the seasoned Fleet Aviators on here, who have been through SERE, will not post something stupid. Maybe someone has a link to another article, or wants to chime in with something that wouldn't contradict my comment above? Did not then, nor do I now see a reason to lock it. Trying to head off the preverbial one idiot in the crowd that could ruin an good discussion this might have started... are you volunteering?
 
The first rule of SERE.... you do not talk about SERE.....

The second rule of SERE..... YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT SERE!.....
 
depends, usually for Navy guys between advanced and the RAG, Marines many times may never go and if they do it is because the squadron got a few slots so it could come at any time.
 
Check the FASOTRAGRU websites (Pacific and Atlantic) for detailed information. The .pdf manuals are even available for download. It's all in the public domain. Official Navy websites. No secrets.

Try:

http://www.fasolant.navy.mil/

The schools and the training derived therein have matured and changed since I attended @ 35 years ago. While the course materials and courses are constantly being changed and upgraded and hold SECRET classifications --- the website(s) aren't classified. No BEADWINDOWs, no hyper-overreactions, no secrets divulged :eek: --- just all the information any of you who are asking need to know at this point in time. :)
 
Looks pretty cozy, actually. We did SERE in the Mojave Desert. 130 degrees daytime, 30 degrees at night. We were baked and flash-frozen. Had just a flight suit and half a parachute for gear, plus our survival vest stuff. No shade, no shelter, just open desert. Only thing to eat was prickly pear cactus.

Lemme guess, you had to walk uphill both ways in the snow, or in your case sandstorms?

Me? Volunteer to be a proverbial idiot? Nothing proverbial about it. :icon_tong ...I'm just an idiot.
